I tried to reproduce the sunlight in the studio.

I made this shot for a friend of my work. Her daughter has a little princess she brought to my work. We did quick shots in a free office. She was siiting on a desk...

I used a simple Yongnuo strobe on the hotshoe in manual mode.

Then I made post-processing because the background was really bad.

In photoshop I did the following steps :

- I cut the body from the original background.

- I made frequency separation to improve the face.

- I use also Topaz Grunge light effect to improve the effect on the dress.

- I did some dodge (no burn) on the face.

- I finally add a background made with Topaz Texture from a white layer.

- Among all small other modification, I notably add a small blur on the foreground.

- And I forgot to mention I add a shadow on the background to make a kind of 3D effect.
